Ardleigh Circle at Fairmount Blvd., 1914
Although the landscaping has changed over the years, Ardleigh Circle today looks much as it did when it was first laid out in 1914. Like Shaker Heights, Euclid Golf was planned in the Garden City model, a design movement that started in England. The Garden City rejected the rectilinear street pattern of the city for roads that followed the natural contour of the land and incorporated trees and landscaping to evoke the beauty of the garden. Streets were given picturesque English names. It followed other nationally prominent developments like Llewellyn Park in East Orange, New Jersey, Riverside outside Chicago, and Baltimore's Roland Park.
